Coaching Carousel 2020

[uneblinstu]

A few jobs opening up despite all the other things happening in the sport.

 

Wyoming

Illinois-Chicago

Grand Canyon

UAB - hired Takayo Siddle

Iona

 

Maybe others I've missed.

 

If you're interested in where Coach Miles might end up, he'd been linked to Wyoming but sounds like he shot that down recently. Also been rumored that he's been in contact with Grand Canyon. Sounds like Big Rick Pitino is trying to get back in the game, too and been attached to that GC job some, so we'll see what that turns into.

I would suggest changing the thread title to "Coaching Carousel 2020" and maybe adding a tag as well.  Also, @hhcmatt put last year's thread in the Haymarket Hardwood folder, maybe he should move this one there too?  Just a suggestion...

 

Also, there's this:

 

 

...so the Minnesota job is off the carousel for this year.

I am not a fan of for profit universities. I find it disgusting that Grand Canyon is allowed to be in D-1

What are the chances Shaka Smart gets canned @ UT...? Also: glad to see young Richard staying with the Gophers, his chances of falling off the end of the table are always high.

Probably equally proportional to the amount of desire John Beilein has to getting back into coaching.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure all of 'em are trying to make $$$ under the guise of non-profit status.

I wonder what the impact of no conference tournaments or NCAA tournament does for coaches who were on the hot seat. Like Shaka Smart, the Okie State coach, etc

Good question. Maybe the bubble bursts on excessive coaching salaries in the process............

If somebody is truly on the hot seat, the lack of games in March shouldn't make a difference to an ADs decision.

Lots of mid-major coaches have landed some pretty plum P5 jobs based on a surprising run in March Madness, we won't have that this year.

THe OklahomaState Coach is a good one.  They had some unfortunate set 

backs but were playing well at the end.  Shaka will probably return because he is well liked.

NCAA is a joke. How can you let Petino coach at another school, free of discipline, while Louisville braces for penalties that stem from his tenure as HC...

Louisville has already served their penalties.  AFAIK, there is nothing further coming for them.

I thought they were caught up in that whole FBI thing from this past summer and were expecting more penalties.

Rick Pitino at Iona.... last "big dude" I recall coaching at Iona was Jeff Ruland.

Looks like the Carousel may have a chance at getting going again before the end of the year:

"Jay Wright to the 76ers" is the most obvious rumor in the history of coaching carousel rumors.
